Installing GPS on Pavo20 is pretty straight forward. Works really well and the gps on the pavo pico and gps on pavo20 are simply the same process.
Soldering gps to pavo20 is the same as soldering gps to pavo pico... click on time
10;08 in this video to see exactly how GPS is soldered on the Pavopico • pavo-pico GPS settings...
Port Setup image is on GitHub

Thanks ‪@gsgsgsgs3650‬
GPS Wiring:
G to Ground - Wire color should be black or brown
5v to 5v - Wire color should be red or orange
T1 to R - Wire color can be any color you like
R1 to T - Wire color can be any color you like

Your video was helpful in setting my gps. It was also great in showing me how to solder, which I'll be forever grateful. That being said, i spent 3 hours trying to make it work. Bigdigglers comment was so helpful about ports so i thought i figured it out. However, it wasn't untill i checked the description part of your video after rewatching the video 5 times and saw R1 to T,T1 to R. In the video around 6min30sec you say T to T and R to R. Maybe your meaning was different than my interpretation. Thanks for the video, no other videos are this hands on.

Thanks for pointing this out..video in the link is more in depth on the soldering technique.. video with link to 10;08 where folks can see image before moving forward with this video will be added to description in this video.. Here is other reference video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLuUZ62B1Lmno3k.html Also added the github port setup image, will ass soldering image there too.. Thanks again github.com/flight-commander/Pavo-20

rx goes to tx and tx goes to rx

And with all this done now you need to mount the gps in a place away from electrical interference for the gps to work right and you need to copper shield the gps wires also, thats if you want your gps to work correctly if you dont do all that forget about installing a gps becuase you are taking a chance of losing your drone or smashing it to the ground.

So I've been having some issues with my GPS. The OSD only partially works. After rewatching your video again I noticed at 6min 48sec while your hooked up to betaflight, I can see the GPS icon is lit up on your screen. Mine isn't. The GPS works, it seems as though my settings are messed up. Any thoughts on the matter.

Thanks for the terrific video! Two quick questions. Does it help stabilize the drone like other DJI drones or does it just help you locate home? And also where did you mount it on the unit itself as I did not see it clearly. Thx

I wish.. but I think next year this time beta FPV drones will be flying like the avata.. They already have a new one that hovers so it's just a matter of time.. I have not tested these rates yet but one of our viewers shared this.. @YonnBurgos I can share my rates. I adjusted and fine-tune it until I could fly inside my home. Right after I adjusted and found the sweet spot, I was able to manage flying it a lot better inside my home. Roll: 10/250/0.54 Pitch 10/250/0.54 Yaw 40/350/0.50 I also adjusted my Throttle MID to 0.40 Throttle Expo to 0.45 The Throttle Limit I set it to OFF and left my Throttle Limit % to 100. If the above, helped, let me know. I am documenting everything from when I got it, my crashes, fixing it, etc. to have it posted on KZfaq as well. 3M Strip a.co/d/4FTA77U All in all it just helps you to locate it when in a wooded and busy area.. In an open field it more for the experience.. but at the and of the day this solder video upgrade will help get you ready for the DJI Avata motor upgrade. More soldering videos to come down the line. You only get one take on the DJI Avata. Hope this helps.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5ddg8in1NrFaKs.html

Thanks for the tutorial. How did you attach it to the drone? How long does it take to fix GPS signal?

cvs might have them too: amzn.to/3UwCldz

I have the exact same drone and I want to do the same thing but my problem is I have to put a tbs nano receiver on as well and I don’t want to lose my drones leds because there is only 2uarts but I have three peripherals to attach? If I unsolder my led tx1 pad will the lights still work but without a switch?!

Sorry this took so long did not see this.. It might but you may have to jerry rig it.. How did it go?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I got a pavo 20 too with air unit 03, the problem with air unit 03 is overheating, I found a micro fan from amazon which is a 5V fan, can you help us where to connect the fan to the board? Thanks

@How-to-by-Lou 2 ай бұрын

Cam you share the link to the fan.. I might be able to help..

I see you getting better at soldering. I have a question about why you would put GPS on a small drone? You are not going to fly a small drone out of sight. It just ads unnecessary weight. Im just saying but really no advantage to having GPS on such a small drone that even if you wanted to fly long distance your limited by the battery size.

Hey.... Happy Holidays.. Hope all is well.. Great to hear from you.. GPS works well when flying near the woods that can be dense and will give one an idea and indication of the drone location when being 10 - 15 feet from where they are standing... Creates a better geo caching experience. Also the solder projects on the channel are stepping stones to help the beginner level up when planning to do the motor upgrade for the dji avata.. As a beginner I'd do the small solder projects before doing the Axisflying Motor Upgrade.... It's soooo challenging but rewarding in the end..
